There was a poor old man named Ed that helps street children by sending them to orphanage, he is not finish his studies when he was young because his parents have no financial to support his studies. Ed is the only child of their family and his father left them when he was a child so that his mother want to go to abroad to support him when he was young, but sadly the airplane crashes and his mother dies. He ask for a help to find his father to share the news but he don't know how to do it. His grandmother adopts him to her old house and they have a lack of money to buy food because they only receive pensions from the government. So the boy decide to find a work at the age of 12 he goes to market to find a simple job to earn money, he assist the market sellers and then he earn a little money for his and her grandmother's food.

He buys 4 bread and he saw a 7 years old Street child that almost look starve and hungry, he gives 1 of his bread to the 7 years old child and the child accepts the offer and hugs Ed. At his early age he felt happiness by helping a 7 years old kid. Every day he visits the kid secretly to give him a food and recruit the young kid to join what he do to the market to earn a little money for a bread and they do it almost everyday, the 7 years old boy have a small boxes house with his family but he always left in their small house and stay hungry until evening.

Ed returns to his grandmother rental house bringing breads and a bottled water for his grandmother but when he enters the house he saw his grandmother laying on the floor he tries to wake up his grandmother but it didn't respond. His grandmother died with a bad condition. Ed feels hopeless and moment of pain and failure at his young age. One month ago, Ed becomes a Street child because he have not enough money to pay for rent. At his birthday he and his 7years old friend celebrates his birthday by buying a cheap pizza for them. Then Ed saw a 10 years old girl with her grandfather, he feel mixed emotion of sadness and happiness because he remember his grandmother and his mother so we decided to give 2 pizza to the 10 years old girl and her grandfather because he remembers his grandmother that adopted him.

Many years past his 7 years old best friend turns 20 and got arrested for violating the government rules about something. Ed was already 25 and feel sad about his bestfriend. In their street there is a lot of street children but Ed helps them by selling scraps and reusable and recyclable trash to junk shop and buy some bread for those street children.

One day he got interview by a pastor and talk to him about sharing good words of wisdom and offers him a food for him and his street children friends. Ed accepts it and become an inspiration to share wisdom to children. Until one day, Ed becomes also a pastor and work at church as a servant and helping those children to find an orphanage for them.

Ed starts from nothing and now being an inspiration to everyone in their streets. A poor man's dream is to inspire others by his story. There is a times that we will feel nothing to do and can't find hope, but one day there is a chance of opportunities that will come to challenge us if we keep things what we have or we grab it for new things or stories in our lives.
